Summary

I was very fortunate to have had family that owned a computer store in 1981 which seeded my technology journey. I have experience running a company and working for large corporate entities. Right now I am looking to join an organization that has the size and scale to advance my skill sets and engage in projects across a wider scope. The ideas and strategies I have been working with as of late are ready to move into the next level. I am looking to join a great team and extend my leadership and expertise with a new organization.

Technology Evangelist

“The Digital Universe aims to be the definitive repository of human knowledge online.” At the DUF I worked with major scientific organizations and universities to create next generation vetted internet content. As the liaison between universities, institutions and the DUF, I evangelized the ideas and solutions we developed through public speaking at conferences and events. We developed Semantic Web strategies and helped design and evolve the Digital Universe from a customized Mozilla browser to a browser independent platform using Dojo Ajax framework and a customized Media Wiki implementation called the Encyclopedia of Earth. I participated in the development of 3D data visualization of information data sets overlaid onto the earth and other planets displayed within the Mozilla browser.

SR. Network Engineer

I was the Sr. Network Engineer for an international company with 30 subsidiaries where my team modernized the network. I managed people on projects with large budgets in extremely high stress environments. I was responsible for entire corporate network including LAN, WAN, and Internet presence. I researched, proposed, and implemented new technologies as well as maintained legacy systems. On my recommendation we crafted solutions working with major vendors to implement large scale infrastructure overhaul for an antiquated network. During my tenure I worked with government agencies and major corporations on a litany of projects in the IT space. Through my experience in the military I developed a good understanding of the use of proper channels and the process of dealing with red tape.
